Joe Rogan Experience #839 - Tom Papa

And to this house we're born, Tom Poppa ladies and gentlemen, the Sultan of Sourdough,
that's
your nickname.
I love that.
I saw that this morning.
Yeah, the Sultan of Sourdough.
That's really badass.
New York Times, they mentioned you in the New York Times.
Oh yes, the New York Times.
I talk about the New York Times, I keep my mouth closed when I say it.
The New York Times.
And I'm now friends with the New York Times because of doing your podcast.
What is he like?
Or is it a she?
He's a great guy.
He's the gray old lady.
He's an old gray lady.
Yeah.
So when I was in New York, I went with my daughter.
They gave us a tour of the New York Times.
They invited us in anytime you want to come.
Because of the Sourdough?
Because of the Sourdough story.
That's incredible.
And because they saw it on this show.
That's incredible.
Yeah.
Wow.
Dude.
This show got an article written in the New York Times about sourdough bread
and starters.
Yeah.
That was absolutely fascinating though.
It was.
I had no idea.
Yeah.
That's the new world.
I read an article today in the New York Times.
It was so disappointing though.
It was some woman wrote an article blaming the patriarchy on women drinking too
much.
Sexism on women drinking too much.
I'm like, is this the fucking New York Times?
Yeah.
How desperado are they for ratings or for reading?
Sourdough starter.
America's rising pet.
There it is.
Yeah.
There's a better picture than that though.
I don't remember what it was.
There it is.
There it is.
Tom Papa.
Look at me with my little starter sitting on my counter.
That's awesome.
I was just stirring it up today.
There's a fucking really disturbing article that I read in the Washington Post
this morning.
The news is getting fucking super wacky.
Glenn Greenwald tweeted it.
The Washington Post wrote an article about this settlement in Israel.
Settlement that Israel wants to not.
The settlement in Israel that they want to bulldoze.
And they called it a miserable town.
Uh huh.
A miserable town that Israel wants to bulldoze this miserable town.
And they're like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Who fucking wrote this article?
How did you write?
How did you like think?
You mean the?
The language.
Right.
Like I'm going to write miserable article.
You're dealing with like dirt poor people that are living in these horrible
conditions.
Right.
And they just decided to go with that as their title.
Look at this title.
Tell me.
Look at this.
Israel wants to bulldog.
Oh, they changed it to Ramshackle Village.
Ramshackle Village.
Oh, they changed it.
Oh, really?
Those fucks.
But Europe is providing life support.
Wow.
It was miserable village this morning.
Ramshackle sounds kind of cute.
Ramshackle is still.
It's like they're trying.
Yeah.
Ramshackle is like okay if it's white people.
Right.
If you're talking about white people that live in trailer parks.
He's got a Ramshackle trailer park.
Yeah.
Corn cob pipe and he hangs out and drinks from his jug at night.
He's got a bunch of cars on blocks in the yard.
It's old.
It's not fancy, but it sure is Ramshackle.
There's Ramshackle.
Yeah.
That makes sense.
But this morning it was the title was miserable.
Don't you feel that writing in all of journalism, like it's all leveled out.
Like sometimes you read an article in the Huffington Post and they suck you
into like some article.
And it's written by like a high school high school journalism student.
It's just sensational.
It just goes like three paragraphs in before it even comes out.
Right.
Like the heading it's a it and then you read some stuff in the New York Times
or other places.
And some of it some of it's definitely much smarter.
But some of it is a little opinionated has these little things in it.
And it's it's lazy.
So it seems like it's because there's such a rush.
You can't spend as much time on stories.
People get lazy and careless.
Well, I also think that when people are at their best, they write about what
they love.
Like if you read a really lazy article from a New York Times writer about
something.
Yeah.
Maybe that guy would write an amazing article about handmade furniture.
You know what I'm saying?
Because maybe he's like really into handmade furniture.
But there's a lot of articles that people are writing.
They're just fucking just trying to get them done.
Yeah.
But the problem is that a lot of that's in like news.
Yeah.
It's not, you know.
Well, don't you feel that way about the news sometimes?
Like enough.
I just I can't do this anymore.
You mean digest the news?
Yeah.
Oh, forget it.
Yeah.
That's one of my crusades.
For real.
I have a thing.
I get the newspaper in the morning because I want to spend maybe 20 minutes,
maybe a half
hour looking at some news stories.
Yeah.
And then that's it.
That's all Tom Papa needs to know about the world's events.
Because I can't do anything about it.
Yes.
And if I just check in another half hour, check in another half hour, 24 hours
of that.
Your day's gone.
And you feel sick.
Yeah.
You're paranoid.
You're sick.
You're upset.
I turn the news off.
It's a barrage.
And I need to talk to the fucking New York Times about what constitutes
breaking news.
Listen, New York Times, just because Anthony Weiner got busted sexting again,
that's not fucking
breaking news.
That's a pretty great story though.
It's a good story.
It's not breaking news.
The New York Times is saying that it's breaking news though.
Breaking news is war.
Yeah.
War is breaking news.
Right.
Earthquake, breaking news.
Right.
Those are breaking news stories.
The other shit is just a story.
Yeah.
Right.
It's not breaking.
It's not super critical.
It's, but you know, you have to keep feeding the beast 24 hours a day and they
got to keep
you in.
So they have to make it urgent.
They have to be hungry.
Watch this video.
Insatiable desire for content.
By the way, I heard the earth is flat.
No, really?
Really?
Nom nom nom nom nom.
More content.
And how are they going to make you pay attention to the content?
By scaring the shit out of you.
Scaring the shit out of you or making you angry.
Yeah.
Or writing something ridiculous like, sexism is why women like to drink.
That is ridiculous.
Are you sure that was the New York Times?
100%.
100%.
Find it, Jamie.
Jamie's on it.
Because I was at the New York Times building because of the sourdough article.
And I saw no such thing.
It was pretty cool to watch.
I mean, it was cool to like, be inside the New York Times.
Well, this was my point about Huffington Post when you were saying that it's
like it's written
by a high school kid.
It could easily have been.
Yeah.
Like there's a lot of contributors to the Huffington Post.
A lot of contributors to a lot of these online news sources.
Yeah.
Wall Street Bros.
Talk Women Down.
That's not it.
No, it was out today.
Oh, today.
Yeah, it's about sexism and drinking.
Sexism and drinking.
That the patriarchy makes women drink.
It was like the pressure of dealing with sexism all day makes women drink.
That is, it's so unbelievably ridiculous.
But for anybody who hates those arguments, it's beautiful.
Yeah.
Because it's so stupid that it's like self-parody.
Yeah.
It's like, it's so dumb.
Oh, really?
That's what makes you drink?
Because everybody who doesn't drink, how come it doesn't work on them?
It's almost like that headline is to a level of, this will piss them off.
Yes.
Right?
Exactly.
And here we are talking about it.
Yeah.
So she might be right.
You know?
I mean, definitely women must face sexism.
Because a lot of men are sexist.
For sure.
Yeah.
But men are pigs.
If you have to work with a guy for eight hours a day for five years, if he's
not going
to try to fuck you, he's going to be thinking about fucking you all the time.
And he's definitely going to play like little games.
Yeah.
See how far he can go.
Yeah.
Test it.
See what he can say.
See what you say when he says this.
Look, we work with guys when they are completely free.
When we're alone with a guy, like when you're in school or whatever and working
with people,
you know, you get jobs with these men, you know.
And when we're alone with them, the shit that is said.
I mean, right?
I mean, it's unfiltered.
It is brutal about everyone in the office, about their wives.
They're pulling out their parts.
It's not the same story.
This is the opposite of that.
It says sexism isn't driving women to drink.
I found something.
I'm not seeing something from the times though.
Okay.
I'll send it to you.
I'll find it here.
I'll email it to you.
It doesn't matter.
I don't even need to look at it.
It's just an article.
But you know what I mean?
Men are such pigs.
We are pigs.
For sure.
You could be in an office with another guy and you know the coast is clear.
The stuff that is.
So for him to walk out and be as cool.
And we would both look at each other and go, you know, this never leaves this
room.
Right.
And that would be it.
What I would do to her.
Conversations.
And then they walk out among all the people and they, that they can keep it
together.
Like knowing what we know, that they can keep it together when they're mixed
with everybody
else is kind of astounding.
I feel like the more likely a man is to wear loafers with those tassels, the
more likely
he has to have these deep dark visions and fantasies.
Absolutely.
That you could get out of him if you just get a couple cocktails in him.
Yeah.
Cause he's probably pretty wealthy.
Probably makes a good living and probably has been married to the same woman
for quite
a long time.
Has children.
Probably has some sort of religious affiliation.
Yeah.
Most likely.
To offset the guilt.
Depending upon the business you're in.
Right.
Yeah.
And deep desires.
The beasts.
If you're living, are you working?
Well, if you're working with that guy, it's almost crazier than living with him.
You think about it.
Like if you, if your wife works all day.
Right.
So if you work all day, your wife works all day.
You're not seeing each other for nine hours out of the day.
Right.
Right.
Travel time.
If you're, this is if you're super lucky.
Yeah.
Then you come home.
How long are you awake for?
Yeah.
Three hours.
Three hours.
Four hours at the most.
Five.
Four hours.
Yeah.
How much is like really good time with each other?
Exactly.
How much time is like, stop fighting.
Don't do that.
That's not yours.
No, no, no.
Yours looks like that, but yours is different.
This is, I mean, that's the reality is if your wife works with some fucking
creepy dude,
that creepy dude sees her more than you do.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think, I think work environments are very strange for human beings.
Yeah.
I'm not saying that we shouldn't engage in them, but what I'm saying is that
being
in a traditional work environment where you're working your way up the
corporate ladder,
so everybody's full of shit, everybody's like at certain point in time saying
the thing
that's the right thing to say for their career versus what they really feel
about things.
Oh, yeah.
There's probably not a lot of room for opinion.
A lot of it is about the company and how important the company is, and then
fucking,
if you're lucky, you get to like crack a joke by the water cooler.
Right?
That's like your little freedom of the day.
Or maybe they let you dress your cubicle up.
You could have like a little fucking Star Wars guy in your cubicle.
Joe's a wild man.
Show him your socks.
Look, I have the Death Star in my cubicle.
I'm a big Star Wars fan.
I can't wait for the next episode.
He's the guy when you, when people come up to go, oh, there's a guy in my
office.
He is so funny.
Yeah.
It's that Star Wars guy.
It's like that Thoreau quote, most men live lives of silent desperation.
I'm sure most women too.
I think most humans.
There's a lot of, a lot of doing shit you don't want to do.
Do you know what I find though?
Like people who are in those jobs, you know, and they get pretty high up and
they, they're
creative people, whatever.
They don't, um, they don't question things as much as we do.
They can't.
Like you.
Yeah.
But I think
